Super Heroes vs. the “God Hates Fags” People

Sometimes the most effective way of showing that something is silly is to just go with it. Like…let’s grant your premise and take it all the way to the end. “God Hates Fags” is already pretty far along, so you have to go a heckuva long way to reach the final  point of absurdity. This is a classic logic technique called “reductio ad absurdam,” and these super heroes are bringin’ it! Read article

We Love Surrogate Moms

When the Political Loudmouth crew went to the Gay Pride Parade in San Francisco, the happiest people we met all day were these surrogate mothers. They are all carrying children for gay couples, and they’re so filled with joy about what they are doing that it was a blessing just to stand near them.

As one of them, Kelly, told us about her first experience as a surrogate. “I can easily say my experience, as a surrogate, was absolutely amazing. I really believe that in the future, when I look back on all my accomplishments, it will easily be one of the best things I ever did.” And now she’s carrying a new lil bundle of joy for another gay couple. Check out Kelly’s blog, I’m Not The Mom, Just the Stork

Our hats are off to you: Kelly, Stacie, and Heather!

Latest Marriage Equality Poster

This has been a very fun series of posters to work on. We’ve gotten so much feedback and engendered so much discussion that this has basically been the funnest thing we’ve done yet. So thanks to everyone who participated, shared, blogged, reblogged, cheered, and booed. This is the last poster, and since it’s the tail end of a long series, a little joke about buggery seemed in order. (Nyuk, nyuk). Go to download page.

Latest Legalize Cannabis Poster

We’ve just finished a new poster in our Legalize and Tax Dope series. In a daring move, we’ve made this cute little number 8.5 x 14, so you’ll need to print it out on legal size paper. Ooooooo.

Some notes for those who like to discuss: California stands to gain over $1,000,000,000 every year from a combination of excise and sales taxes. And there will actually be much greater savings than that in terms of the time and effort of the police and the court system which can be shunted away from cannabis enforcement and into things that matter more.
